One of the attachments has <em>2</em> LEDs I can see a single beard hair strand lighting up 1 LED very dimly, but 2?? I&rsquo;m just not sure you understand the physics of the whole thing. Each beard strand increases the power exponentially. I think there has to be at least 3 beard hair strands for the thing to work!</p>Zio on New Product Friday: Do it Your Own RobertZiourn:uuid:b67a82d0-799f-81f5-1e4b-befcde76c7f82014-06-06T18:46:45-06:00<p>A single strand of beard hair should be included</p>SuperCrackMunkey on New Product Friday: Do it Your Own RobertSuperCrackMunkeyurn:uuid:d212764d-f25c-e6f5-7264-4c69aa76c2fc2014-06-06T18:17:58-06:00<p>You would think it&rsquo;s just velcro made of conductive thread, and assuming that means it would be the same along it&rsquo;s length.</p>wawison on New Product Friday: Do it Your Own Robertwawisonurn:uuid:01c6b092-5d75-516c-9093-10076442e9b22014-06-06T11:32:40-06:00<p>Who doesn&rsquo;t have trouble saying Qwip Kick out loud?</p>LightManCA on New Product Friday: Do it Your Own RobertLightManCAurn:uuid:15ddf3f2-56da-debb-30d9-267637eae6422014-06-06T11:02:10-06:00<p>I think the Rob kit could make millions!!!</p>
<p>You guys gotta put that into production! However I&rsquo;m not sure how much beard power you can get from just one beard. I&rsquo;m guessing you powered it by rubbing the circuit board against Rob&rsquo;s beard, and saved the power in a high charge capacitor?</p>LightManCA on New Product Friday: Do it Your Own RobertLightManCAurn:uuid:57a53d44-b7d2-690b-b8cc-de710f0f97c42014-06-06T10:59:43-06:00<p>I gotta see that!
